the jumpscare genuinely sent shock through my hands to my feet LMAO i loved how it was like a doco i think we need more horror like that, however its super slow paced but i still enjoyed myself
This is one of those rare documentary-style/found footage films that elevate the genre above the usual cheap,cash-in fare it usually offers. First saw this a few years ago as I'd heard good things,watched it twice that night. If you get to the end of your first viewing & have the nagging feeling you missed something, it's worth acknowledging that feeling & going again. Watched it a year or so ago & gleaned things previously missed. A film that doesn't hand it to you on a plate,it demands your attention & requires your ability to make connections both logically & emotionally. Highly recommended if you want a puzzle to,at least partially, solve.
only shock to this crap was how boring it was. no idea where people are getting more than 1 skull from. never again
Brilliant
Eerie more than it is scary, but I enjoyed this atmospheric slow burn
